will he given for the NAVAL VICTORY HALTS DRIVE ON PETROGRAD London, August 24.\u2014The German version of the Riga battle has hot yet been given out, but the dUinite ness of the official Russian report on the loss of the German battle-cruiser Moltke, two other cruisers and eight torpedo-boats has sent a wave of enthusiasm throughout the country and dispelled the depression over the Russian retreat on land.Aside from the loss of the German ships, the l maval engagement is regarded chiefly Important for the strategic effect , upon the land operations in the German sweep eastward toward Pctro-grnd, which military observers now consider as having been ch-cked and possibly Irreparably defeated.The German center has pressed for- led to the shifting of n number of German capital ships, including the Moltke, from the North Sea to the Baltic, with the purpose of controlling Riga End thus protecting a German land advance on Petrograd.The result of the naval battle, as gleaned from the
